Justice to Governor Perry.
Florida Herald.

ftOfiud Herald
III the editor of the Herald had been in
his office yesterday, the view taken by our
Tallahassee correspondent, would have
been dissented from upon this mage Our
correspondent is gallant. impulsive and
loyal To his friends, and writing from
the midst of the boiling caltron at ITALIA
hassee, his enthusiasm for Bloxham
sometimes carries him into PARTISAN
ship.
The Herald is the firm advocate of
BloNham for the Senate and is ready.
upon argument, to meet all corners i'm his
cause. But this journal desires to be fair
even IN the warmth of advocacy. and
just even in the whirl of excitement.
We do not think that Governor Perry
Is called upon to withdraw in the inter-
est OF harmony, or is obligated by his
nigh position To quit the field before it is
lost or won. The prize for which these
gentlemen are struggling is an honora-
Die prize. and one which NAV well en-
list the noblest and most persistent com
petition of the highest figures in the
State. So long as there remains reason
able hope of success Governor Perry or
Governor Bloxham or any other candi-
date Is justified In remaining in the field
anu IN exhausting every honorable effort
10 win the gilttering honor at stake
Above the roar of faction this lust view
VIII prevail with the people who are
calm and fair-and for ourselves. we
shall advocate no withdrawal and have
no word of criticism for the citizen who
struggles manfully. persistently and hon
orably for the Senatorship.
But there is one other fact which rises
above the struggle and the clamor. Ii
rises higher than any other fact. and
ought to weigh down every other consid-
eration-the fact of the peoples will.
The representatives gathered at Tallahas-
see represent Wharf.-The peoples will.
Is there anyone in Florida who doubts
that Bloxham is the peoples choice?

For the Future.

We would urge upon the Democrats
who are adding gall to the bitterness in
Tallahassee some regard for the world as
well as some care for the future of the
party. The great cause of the Democracy
Is dearer than the elevation of one man
or the defeat of another. If an election be
gained by disreputable methods. triumph
isno honor and success NAV become utter
disgrace. 1t is certain that a rigid ac-
count must be rendered for the selfish
wrangling of the past few DAYS, and the
people of Florida will not be satisfied
with empty words from those who shall
be brought before the bar of public
opinion
when the managers of the Bloxham
campaign saw that their success would
not be the easy victory for which they
had hoped-when. afterwards. thew
realized that the opposition would be de-
termined and steadfast. they charged
that only conspiracy" could compass
ther defeat. Since then their policy
mas grown more and more INSCRIPTIONS
TIL the elimination is reached i'm the
proposal made by the committee
representing them last night. We DEFY
them to show even such poor iustifica-
ton as might come from similar conduct
ON the part of their adversaries. We
defy them TO make proof of ..anony
mostly or malpractice by the Perry
wing of the party-the conduct of their
leader has been fifty reflected by that of
ms followers, and the party hereafter will
know well where to fix the responsibility
Tor the scenes which have scandalized
us before the world. Let care be taken
IN time-desperate circumstances will
not excuse resort to desperate means.
and we still cherish the hope that the
waters of bitterness will be made To
HOW back to their source and fail to en-
gulf the future of the party in their dark
some course.

MIR. Pasco may well cite his own con-
duct at the Pensacola convention in lu-
minous contrast to the methods now
adopted by some Democrats who have
heretofore stood high in the confidenceof
the people of Florida. We had thought
the Lex letter unparalleled in political
history-its methods and its manners are
abhorrent to the feelings and practices of
all our race.
But it has been reserved for members
of the Legislature to Islander the Gov
ernor of the State without bringing
proof-the ready apology proffered by the
Florida Herald will not avail the MEM
beers of the Legislature who insult their
fellows on evidence never brought into
the light of day. The representatives of
Perrys supporters reply only as in duty
bound. and the two communications out
line the glaring contrast which the tao
tics of the managers of this contest have
presented from the beginning. The
determination to- rule or ruin
the desperation of approaching defeat.
the dark methods of which Lex will long
remain the fittest expression-all these
take on material shape in the proposition
made by the Bloxham committee. The
reply of the Perry committee is only
reflection of the dignity and frank manli-
ness which has characterized the course
these gentlemen represent and the result
will show that the people of Florida APP
preciate the attitude assumed by their
candidate

aud heather countries. There are, how
ever, scarcely any living animals. birds
or fishes, whose characteristics are well
known, to which some tribe or people
has not attributed at some time or other
demoniacal nature. The Caucasians

negroes paint him white, and in the Mo
zambique language his name signifies

notwithstanding that it is stated
Officially" that Lord Salisbury ..under-
stands" that the course of the United
States in the matter of the Canadian
fisheries has been dictated by disappoint-
ment at the award of $500, 900 against
this country in the matter of the Hall
fax fisheries claims, it is difficult to be-
lieve it. The head of the Conservative
Government betrays the proverbial ig-
norance of affairs outside his own coun-
try. Whether justified or not the Re-
taliation bill which the President is pre-
pared to carry out, had no connection
with the Halifax award. The arbitrary
and insulting course pursued by the
Canadian Government toward American
fishermen is the primary cause of that
bill and the policy pursued under it. The
Noble Lord could gather some enlighten-
ment from good American newspaper.
The disposition, however. to reach an
amicable ground of settlement is note
worthy-that is, if the official state
ment is not canard.

Vegetables for Market.

The fruit culturist in Florida who con-
fines his attention to the citrus family
is making a great mistake-not less
serious is the mistake of the farmer with
in reach of transportation, who neglects
to grow vegetables for market. Near
Palatka are some gardeners who. possess
ell of the special knowledge which comes
from experience and care, have made
money by growing the more delicate
vegetables, but other kinds are more
susceptible of easy cultivation and n
good return is as certain as from corn or
wheat in other States. Asparagus.

but these require particular soils
and special attention. No SO with cab
bage. Florida soil can easily and cheap
ly be- made rich enough and with proper
provision to guard against the effect of

be grown cheaply, with certainty. and
sold at remunerative prices.
One of our correspondents. in a late
communication to THE PALATKA NEWS,
Element on Lake George, lately baptized
Wyoma, and special mention was made
of the vegetables grown by McCaskill
Bros. Their garden is on a low. rich
hammock bordering the lake. and has
been cultivated for several years with
scarcely any outlay for fertilizer. The
portion of the garden devoted to cab
bages this year was especially noticed
and the crop now on it was mentioned as
unusually promising if we consider the
unfavorable weather of the past winter.
When the communication was written
no portion of the crop had been shipped
and no estimate of the yield was given.
Now, however, daily shipments are be
ing made and it can be seen that the
yield from an acre will be at least two
hundred barrels of merchantable cab
bages. We viii take the three last ship
ments for which returns have come in as
fair average and make our estimate
from these.

Ii will thus be seen that a fair average
